Rollingsons Divorce Solicitors
Rollingsons act as divorce solicitors to both Petitioners and Respondents and both husbands and wives. There are a number of popular misconceptions regarding divorce. The only ground for divorce in England and Wales is irretrievable breakdown of marriage. In order to establish this, it is necessary to establish one or more of five sets of facts. In summary, these are:
- Adultery and intolerability;
- Unreasonable behaviour;
- Desertion by the Respondent of the Petitioner for a period of at least two years;
- Separation of the parties for a period of at least two years where the Respondent to the divorce proceedings consents to the pronouncement of a decree;
- Five years separation where the Respondent?s consent is not required.
Whichever fact is relied upon, the actual divorce procedure is broadly the same. A straightforward, undefended divorce will take in the region of three and a half to four months.
Rollingsons are currently able to offer an initial 30 minute appointment with Martin Chambers a Partner and the Head of their Family Department, free of charge.
We understand concerns about legal costs and will address these with you at the earliest opportunity. We never lose sight of the emotional cost of relationship breakdowns, especially in matters involving children. For parties whose funds are tied up in the matrimonial assets, we are able to offer deferred payment schemes.
We believe firmly in seeking to retain the maximum assets within the family unit. We practice within the Law Society’s Family Law Protocol and the guidelines of “Resolution” (formerly the Solicitors Family Law Association). We seek to resolve disputes in a non-confrontational manner wherever possible. Where this is not possible we shall litigate firmly but fairly to ensure that your interests are fully protected.
